Comp numbers on used engine
Hi
Did the compression numbers on this used engine and this is what they are:
#2 = 460
#4 = 46o
#6 = 520
#8 = 520
#1 = 440
#3 = 440
#5 = 460
#7 = 440
These are well within the 25% spread high/low. Engine looks rough but these numbers make up for it I think.
What do you guys think?

hi
engine isn't in yet.
now that we know its a good one, it needs to be cleaned up and because its a van engine going into a sd, brackets all need to be swapped over. My sensors are all better than this ones so will get swapped as well as new hp oil lines.
since i just did injectors, uvch and plugs, they will get switched as well.
this engine is from a '99 E series. No pictures but is ugly at present...lol.
mileage is reported to be 118k

Mellings M208 is always a nice upgrade.
So when you get a chance post up some photos of the swap over. We love pics!

hi
the oil pump is a good idea..thanks
i was undecided about swapping oil pans. the van engine isn't bad considering its from the mid Atlantic states but my truck's orig engine is spotless from Texas.
i plan on doing dorman up pipes too. i need them anyways as my old ones were leaking a bit.

Now as far as oil pans go here is an other opinion instead of using the Ford RTV stuff. Moroso Ford 7.3 Powerstroke & International T444E Oil Pan Gasket - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS And I would use the oil pan from Texas myself, that way you can also replace the dip stick Oring and do it right and replace the whole housing. They really blow doing with them in the truck. Just trying to help you spend your money.....
Hopefully wisely!! Also if the pan is off you can check your oil jets or go with the modded ones. Riffraff Diesel: Welded Piston Oil Jets
